Detail

According to ABS population updates for the wider region and recent address validations conducted by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Robertson (Qld) has an estimated population of 5,633 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 884 individuals (18.6%) from the 4,749 people recorded in the 2021 Census. This change is calculated from the resident population of 5,615, which AreaSearch estimated using the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside an additional 130 validated new addresses added since the Census. This population size represents a density of 3,164 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of national areas monitored by AreaSearch.

The 18.6% growth rate of the suburb of Robertson (Qld) since the 2021 census was higher than the national average (9.3%) and the local SA3 region, positioning it as a regional growth leader. The primary driver of this demographic expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 93.0% of the overall population gains in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, which use 2022 as their starting point. In instances where SA2 regions are not covered by these datasets, or for periods extending beyond 2032, projection data published by the Queensland State Government in 2023 (based on 2021 figures) is substituted. Because the Queensland state projections do not include specific age breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates growth weightings across age groups using the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 (based on 2022 data). Based on these anticipated demographic trends, the suburb of Robertson (Qld) is projected to experience population growth slightly below the national median, with aggregated SA2 projections indicating an increase of 564 residents by 2041, representing a total gain of 9.7% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Robertson (Qld)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

145 new dwellings have been approved in Robertson (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 29 a year. That is 5.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 19, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building permit statistics allocated from statistical areas show that Robertson has averaged approximately 29 residential approvals annually. This includes an estimated 145 homes authorized over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 18 so far during FY-26. With an average of 4.3 new residents added per year for each home constructed over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand is outstripping supply. Such conditions generally prompt price increases and heighten competition among purchasers. Newly built dwellings carry an average construction cost of $922,000, which highlights developer interest in high-end, premium housing.

Furthermore, commercial building approvals valued at $4.4 million have been registered during this financial year, suggesting a subdued focus on business developments. In comparison to Greater Brisbane, Robertson displays a slightly higher volume of building activity (34.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period), which helps maintain options for buyers while supporting current property values, despite a recent slowdown in construction. All newly authorized residential structures have been detached houses, which preserves the traditional low-density feel of the area and caters to buyers seeking spacious family residences. Interestingly, builders are focusing on traditional houses at a higher rate than the historic housing stock suggests (71.0% at Census), pointing to sustained demand for single-family homes despite densification trends. The figure of roughly 849 people per approval characterizes Robertson as a mature, established community. Demographic predictions show that Robertson is set to add 546 residents by 2041, calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures. Provided current construction volumes persist, the incoming supply of housing should easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buying conditions and potentially facilitating growth that exceeds current population forecasts.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Robertson (Qld)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

2,775 residents of Robertson (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 2,877. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 58.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 4,683, about 83% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.

Detail

Robertson has a highly qualified workforce with strong participation in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 3.6%, and an estimated job growth rate of 5.4% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of local statistical data. In March 2026, 2,775 residents were employed, and the local unemployment rate was 0.7% below the Greater Brisbane figure of 4.3%. However, the labor force participation rate of 58.0% is considerably lower than the 70.4% recorded across Greater Brisbane. Census data indicates that a moderate 17.0% of workers operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.

The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food. The hospitality sector is particularly prominent in the area, employing residents at 1.5 times the wider regional rate. On the other hand, construction is underrepresented, accounting for 5.6% of the workforce compared to the regional average of 9.0%. Comparing the number of working residents to those employed locally at the Census suggests this is a predominantly residential suburb with limited local employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data, the 12 months ending March 2026 saw employment grow by 5.4% and the labor force expand by 4.9%, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. This performance contrasts with Greater Brisbane, where employment rose by 3.2%, the labor force increased by 3.4%, and the unemployment rate edged up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future labor demand in Robertson. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is predicted to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual industries will grow at vastly different rates. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local occupational mix suggests employment among Robertson residents could rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

How the numbers are built

Population

The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 130 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,749 at the 2021 Census → 5,633 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.

Age profile

Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to May 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".

Property sales

Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.

Rents

Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.

Development & infrastructure

Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.

Employment & income

Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.

Education, transport & amenities

School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.

Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.

Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL32444). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Robertson (Qld) suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Robertson (Qld) page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Robertson (Qld) data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2025) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
